Programs

One campus, every age

From first steps to fifth grade — your child grows up with the same teachers, in the same building, among the same friends.

VPK classroom

Voluntary Pre-K

Ages 4–5

Letters and words, math concepts, and the social skills that matter — through small-group instruction, independent play, and large-group activities. Children hop, skip, and jump into kindergarten.

100% free · state funded
Preschool circle time

Preschool

Ages 3–4

Independent exploration and hands-on learning that builds early literacy, mathematics, science, and social skills — the milestones that lead into pre-kindergarten readiness.

Toddlers at play

Toddlers

Ages 1–3

Kindergarten

Age 5

A step into formal schooling without the upheaval — same campus, same familiar faces, small classes, and teachers who already know exactly where your child is.

Our story

Small on purpose

A Shining Stars Early Learning Center sits on West Cypress Street in the heart of Kissimmee. We are family-run, and we have stayed small on purpose — because a child who is known by name learns differently than a child who is one of forty.

What began as an early learning center now includes Shining Star Christian Prep Academy, our private school through fifth grade. Families who start with us as toddlers can stay through the end of elementary, with the same teachers watching them grow.

Teaching here isn't a job. It's the reason the doors open every morning at six-thirty.

“Every child who walks through our doors is a star. Our job is simply to help them shine.”
Ms. Mary, Director

Real mornings, real classrooms

No stock photos. These are our rooms, our teachers, and our students on ordinary days.

“I was looking for a preschool for my two girls and I went past Shining Stars and something said stop. When I stopped in I met a great staff and I am very thankful that I did. God placed this center in my life for a reason.”
